Lager-Marinated Grilled Pork Chops<\/span><\/h1>\n

Prep: 10 minutes plus marinating and standing
\nGrill: 13 minutes \u2022 Serves: 8<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n2<\/span>bottles (12 ounces each) lager beer
\n4<\/span>garlic cloves, minced
\n1\/4<\/span>cup packed light brown sugar
\n2<\/span>tablespoons olive oil
\n1\/2<\/span>teaspoon salt
\n3\/4<\/span>teaspoon ground black pepper
\n8<\/span>bone-in center-cut loin pork chops (4 pounds)<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>In medium bowl, stir beer, garlic, brown sugar, oil, salt and pepper until brown sugar is dissolved. Divide pork chops into 2 large zip-top plastic bags; pour 1-1\/2 cups beer mixture into each bag. Seal bags and refrigerate 4 hours or up to overnight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Remove pork chops from marinade; discard marinade. Place pork chops on hot grill rack. Cover grill and cook 13 to 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 140\u00b0, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer pork chops to large serving platter; let stand 5 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 145\u00b0 upon standing.

\n95mg Cholesterol, 249mg Sodium,

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Dietitian\u2019s tips:<\/span><\/h3>\n

For an alcohol-free version, try using non-alcoholic beer, sparkling apple cider or vegetable stock. The apple cider would add a naturally fruity note, while the vegetable stock would add a rich flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n

To cut back on refined sugars, substitute the brown sugar with pure maple syrup or honey!<\/p>\n

Bacon-Corn Saut\u00e9<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prep: 15 minutes
\nCook: 12 minutes \u2022 Serves: 8<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n6<\/span>slices smoked bacon, cut crosswise into 1\/4-inch pieces
\n2<\/span>red bell peppers, chopped (about 2 cups)
\n1<\/span>large red onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
\n4<\/span>cups fresh corn kernels (from about 6 ears)
\n1\/4<\/span>cup fresh lemon juice
\n1\/4<\/span>cup loosely packed thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
\n2<\/span>teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
\n1<\/span>teaspoon ground black pepper<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>In large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. With slotted spoon, transfer bacon to small bowl; reserve bacon fat.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>Add bell peppers and onion to skillet with bacon fat and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add corn and cook 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove skillet from heat; stir in lemon juice, basil, Worcestershire, black pepper and bacon. Makes about 6 cups.

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Dietitian\u2019s tips:<\/span><\/h3>\n

For a vegetarian-friendly version, in place of the bacon, saut\u00e9 peppers and onion in 2 tablespoons coconut oil for a rich flavor! <\/span><\/p>\n

Stir in 1 cup of black beans to get an extra boost of protein, iron and fiber!<\/p>\n

Grilled Sweet Potatoes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prep: 15 minutes plus standing
\nGrill: 30 minutes \u2022 Serves: 8<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n1\/4 <\/span>cup olive oil
\n1 <\/span>tablespoon chili powder
\n1 <\/span>teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 <\/span>teaspoon cayenne pepper
\n4 <\/span>medium sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds), each cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges
\n1\/2 <\/span>cup maple syrup<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. In large bowl, combine oil, chili powder, salt and cayenne. Add potatoes and toss to combine. Cut two 18 x 30-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and place on work surface. Place half of potato mixture in center of each piece of foil. For each packet, bring top and bottom sides of foil up and together over center of potatoes, and fold down twice to make a double fold over potatoes. Double fold both open ends of foil packet toward potatoes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>Place packets on hot grill rack. Cover grill and cook 30 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. Carefully remove potato packets from grill; let stand, sealed, 5 minutes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>Carefully open 1 end of packets to let steam escape, then pour potatoes into large serving bowl. Serve with maple syrup for drizzling.

Dietitian\u2019s tip:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Pair the sweet potatoes, corn saut\u00e9 and pork with a Garlicky Lemon Yogurt Dip! Mix together: 6 ounces plain Greek yogurt, 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1\/2 teaspoon parsley flakes, 1\/4 teaspoon coarse salt, 1\/4 teaspoon cumin powder and ground black pepper to taste!
